I made a tragic career mistake. I taught at Arizona State University in Tempe. But the intensity of the sun finally got to me (melanoma) so we decided to head back east. I landed a job at George Mason University in Fairfax. I only knew of the economics and law faculty. Turns out the business school is terrible by national standards.
But DEI was happening the entire time I was there. It was getting crazier and crazier. At one faculty meeting, the Dean of the Business school asked everyone to tell an embarrassing story about themselves. I refused. I said “Can you imagine faculty at a top ten business school like Chicago doing something like this??” I walked out.
Our Associate Dean was gay. She had the business building filled with “Want to know what gay life is life?” IOW, a dating site for gays pushed by The Dean’s office. I protested to the Provost. The signs were taken down, but i paid a price for standing up.
GMU is a clown show, particularly the business school.
No wonder white men are eschewing college.
So glad I finished college and grad school before the worst of this nonsense became required. I still had to take various required, (i.e., non-degree BS stuff to pad their profits) courses, but none of this men can get pregnant mess we have now. Work still requires the various DIE training, but it is on their dime and as long as my pay is the same, I don’t really care what they have me do.
The great Walter E. Williams was the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University. I often wonder what he would have to say about all of this DEI nonsense. He was a friend of Thomas Sowell and filled in for Rush on occasion. I loved his newspaper column and when he subbed for Rush.
